The Bauer Vapor APX 2 GripHockey Stick is the flagship model in the Bauer Vapor Stick Line. This APX 2 turns back the clock to offer a completely redesigned blade that has a similar construction and feel to the classic X60 stick, and is much improved from the previous APX blade. Setting this stick above the rest, the APX2 utilizes unique features such as the TeXtreme Carbon Fiber, Monocomp construction and eLAStech Technology.

Vapor's signature flex profile is known as the Intelli-Sense Technology. This changing dual kick point system gives players the optimal kick point based on the type of shot they are taking and where their lower hand is located. For quick wrist and snap shots, the APX 2 provides a lightning quick shot release. For big slap shots and one timers, the softened upper handle (where the upper hand is placed) will create a secondary kick point so that the stick can be "bowed" out and really loaded up, resulting in a powerful shot.

The significant change from the previous APX stick to this APX 2 is the complete redesign in the blade. Bauer really focused their research on improving this portion of the stick and it truly shows. The Bauer APX2 stick features the all-new Aero-Sense Blade Core that will have a much more similar feel to the classic X60 rather than the APX. This new single-density blade core is made of a high-grade foam that vastly improves puck feel and puck reception. There is an additional "Sense" layer that wraps the entire blade which also boosts puck feel and puck reception while helping to prevent chipping, cracking and premature blade breakdown.

The outstanding carry-over features from the APX include the eLASTech Technology, TeXtreme Carbon System and the Monocomp Construction process. The eLASTech Technology reinforces the TeXtreme carbon fibers with micro nanotubes, helping to prevent cracks from slashes growing as well as extending the pop life of the stick. The Monocomp Construction process is one of the best in the industry, providing an extremely consistent feel and feel from top to bottom.

Polymer-based material from the aerospace industry that gives the blade a high strength to weight ratio for better balance

Offers a stiffer and more responsive touch than other Bauer cores, which is ideal for a quick shot release

Similar to the classic X60 blade with top notch puck feel and puck handling properties

Comments: I was also a big fan of the original APX and agree that the blade of the APX2 seems to be a bit of an unwelcomed change. If anything I was not a fan of the X:60 blade and the APX2 reminds me more of that. Other features of the stick like the flex and overall balance/feel are similar to the APX, but given the choice I'd probably stick with the predecessor.From: Michael, CT

Comments: great stick but wish it was little bit lighter than the old apx but it is a great stickFrom: Noah, Chesapeak, VA

Comments: Bought this stick after using the original APX's because I really liked them. I didn't really think anything was wrong with the original ones at all...The blade seemed fine to me. I decided to buy the APX2 about 2 weeks ago, but I still prefer the original APX. The grip and the blade seem like a downgrade...The puck feel isn't as good with the APX2(could just be me) and for the grip there is more on the original one. This could be good or bad depending on what you like, but I like having more grip. It's still a great stick don't get me wrong but I just prefer the original APX over this one. The main reason is just that the puck feel doesn't seem as great.From: CA
